"The worst of all of this is the lie that condoms really protect against AIDS. The condom failure rate can be as high as 20 percent. Would you get on a plane — or put your children on a plane — if one of five passengers would be killed on the flight? Well, the statistic holds for condoms, folks." - Rush Limbaugh, The Way Things Ought to Be

Today marks the third anniversary of the passing of the legendary conservative radio host, Rush Limbaugh. As I take a moment to remember this influential figure, I find myself reflecting on the profound impact he had on shaping political discourse and media, and how he served as a direct inspiration for my own podcast, the Angry British Conservative.

Rush Limbaugh's contribution to the conservative movement is undeniable. For over four decades, his fearless and unapologetic commentary captivated audiences, making him a beacon for those seeking a conservative perspective in the often tumultuous world of media. His ability to articulate conservative principles with passion and conviction left an indelible mark on countless listeners, including myself.

The Angry British Conservative podcast was born out of a desire to channel the spirit of Limbaugh's bold and outspoken approach to political commentary. Limbaugh's ability to cut through the noise and deliver his message with clarity and humor inspired me to create a platform where I could share my own perspectives on conservatism with an unapologetic fervor.

While Limbaugh's legacy is complex and not without controversy, there's no denying the profound influence he had on the media landscape. His fearless pursuit of conservative ideals paved the way for alternative voices to be heard and ignited a passion for political engagement among many.

As I celebrate the third year since Rush Limbaugh's passing, I am reminded of the responsibility that comes with being a conservative commentator. Limbaugh's legacy challenges us to fearlessly express our convictions, even in the face of opposition, and to engage in thoughtful and respectful dialogue that transcends political divides.

Rush Limbaugh - The True Story of Thanksgiving:

It’s difficult to describe the tweets but please open the article and read the disgusting things people wrote. I’m all for freedom of speech, these individuals have every right to speak their mind. However it speaks to the root of your character, the amount of hatred that you hold in your heart and what you might be capable of.

So hypocritical, my mother use to tell me, if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all. “Rest In Piss” was allowed to trend on twitter after the death of Rush Limbaugh. Would twitter allow me to mock and cheer when individuals from the left pass? People who I would consider raciest and sexual predators? Individuals like Joe Biden who gave a eulogy for the former Klansman Robert Bryd, Chris and Andrew Cuomo who have been accused by countless women of sexual harassment and sexual assault and then using their power to cover it up or raciest CNN anchors like Don Lemon and Joe Reid? Just looking for any sort of consistency.

I would encourage Medhi Hasan to read things that Joe Biden said about busing and “racial jungles”. Read about Joe and Hunter’s use of the N-word (weather they were quoting someone or not(does it matter?)). Look at the stuff Kamala said about the deadly, violent and destructive riots after the death of George Floyd. I challenge you. No one is perfect and we should not expect it.

At least hold your hatred back until the body is cold.

Direct Quotes:

Shortly following the news of Limbaugh’s passing, Twitter allowed phrases like “Good Riddance,” “Rot in Hell,” and “Rest in Piss” to trend on their platform.

While those outside of the hard-left either simply posted information on Limbaugh’s passing or remembered his life with kind words, those inside the hard-left cheered and attacked him following his death.

“Rush Limbaugh was a coward and white supremacist. He aggressively and cynically exploited divisions in our country by weaponizing hatred and bigotry for his own personal gain. He was in service to his own greed, prejudice, and hypocrisy, and that is how history will remember him,” far-left activist Charlotte Clymer wrote on Twitter. “If Rush Limbaugh deserves credit for anything, it his pioneering work in spreading disinformation and directly enabling our nation’s current state of vast distrust of experts and spurning of good faith in the public discourse. He will not be missed by rational adults.”

Anti-Second Amendment activist Cameron Kasky wrote: “Rush Limbaugh has passed on, but worry not- his memory lives on through bigots everywhere.”

Yale Law School professor Scott Shapiro wrote on Twitter: “I wouldn’t say I was happy that Rush Limbaugh died. It’s more like euphoria.” Shapiro later set his Twitter account to private following backlash that he received online.

Far-left commentator Medhi Hasan wrote: “Rush Limbaugh died. Rightwingers on Twitter are heaping praise on him. I challenge you to read the things he said about minorities, black people, gay people, women, sexual consent, torture, climate, even the Jan 6th attack, and find things to praise in there. I challenge you.”

Media Matters blogger Parker Molloy wrote: “My sincerest condolences go out to hell’s other residents who now have to deal with being associated with him.”

Way to take the highroad! Please let me know what I’m allowed to say. Oh Media Matters thank you so much for providing your truthful unbiased OPINION! Also thank you Angelo Carusone for reaching out compassionately to his 27 million listeners. Way to make a few new friends!

Help me understand this logic. You hate someone because we believe they say mean things? So when they die we can say mean things about them? Am I allowed the same freedoms? News anchors, politicians, other public figures that I BELIVE are mean and raciest when they pass away am I allowed to make hurtful remarks? I would never do that because I would treat others as I would like to be treated.

Direct Quotes:

In a disappointing but not surprising moment, liberals and progressives took to social media to have a virtual street party to celebrate the death of Rush Limbaugh, who passed away on Wednesday morning at the age of 70.

It did not take long for the online celebrations to take place on Twitter, with even "Rest in piss" trending alongside Limbaugh's name:

A press release from UltraViolet, a national women’s advocacy organization, read "Women’s Group on Rush Limbaugh: 'Good Riddance,'" which went on to say, "Rush Limbaugh deserves to be recognized for what he was: a liar and misogynistic right-wing hack. For decades, the Rush Limbaugh Show was a personal soap box for Limbaugh to promote lies, conspiracy theories and baseless attacks, including justifications for date rape...We will never forget Limbaugh’s infamous attack on Sandra Fluke, who he referred to as a ‘slut’ and ‘prostitute’ for her testimony advocating for a contraception mandate before members of Congress."
